European Reminiscences, Musical and Otherwise: Being the Recollections of the Vacation Tours of a Musician in Various Countries
Excerpt from European Reminiscences, Musical and Otherwise: Being the Recollections of the Vacation Tours of a Musician in Various Countries
This book is the informal record of several vacations of a musician abroad. During some years the author was correspondent of the New York Tribune, the Boston Advertiser, the Boston Transcript, and other journals, and the following pages are largely collated from his foreign letters sent to the American press. Naturally the chief interest is a musical one, but it was the delight of the writer to study the kaleidoscopic phases of European life in many different aspects, and the result was at times to take him very far from the musical field. He trusts that these discursions will not detract from the interest of a book which is only intended to represent the playful side of a musician's life. This also will excuse the autobiographical ego which is used in these pages so freely by The Author.
